How to change the canvas background color from checkered to white in paint.net?

I am working with a .tif image with transparent background in paint.net

I want to see what the image will look like on a white background. (The transparent sections.

I can kludge it by creating an extra "bottom" layer and filling it with white, but would be nice to do that with a setting.

It is most likely not possible.

I went through all settings and looked up online. Many people asked this years ago, and the answer has always been "make the background layer yourself."

The checkerboard is the standard and universal view of a transparent area on the screen. File save as jpg will preview the image, and if you press ok save the image without a transparent color, in other words, "white."
